Volunteers working together keep our doors open and food in the cupboards of hundreds of families every month.
It Takes a Village
Our numbers have doubled and so have our costs.
We operate due to the generosity of our community and we are ever grateful for your support!
Many local businesses support us and those we serve through their generous donations of goods as well as financial contributions.
We want to acknowledge them and ask you to support them in return!
HEalthy Choices
We do our best to make sure those who rely on us have healthy choices. We bring in 3,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables for our clients to take home each week. We follow USDA Healthy Eating Guidelines so our shoppers always have lean protein, dairy and whole grain choices.
